What are the reasons for the baby's low hematocrit

summary

My baby is almost one year old and has been crying all the time these two days. So I went to the hospital to have a check, and the final check result was that the baby's hematocrit was low, so I usually gave my child more red fruits. Now I'm going to tell you the reason why the baby's hematocrit is low.

What are the reasons for the baby's low hematocrit

First: the baby's low hematocrit is due to the immature development of red blood cells, or the lack of substances to promote development and maturity, you can supplement iron appropriately. At the same time, it is suggested that you eat more liver, lean meat, egg yolk, black fungus, vegetables and so on to supplement the body's iron deficiency. The reason for low hematocrit is anemia. The so-called hematocrit is the volume ratio of red blood cells to whole blood.

Second: hematocrit is high. Hematocrit refers to the volume percentage of red blood cells in the whole blood. That is to say, it depends on whether the amount of red blood cells in your blood is enough. It is only a measurement index, not the name of a disease. If the red blood cell backlog is much lower than normal, then you may have anemia. Because the phenomenon of anemia is less red blood cells. It depends on how much lower you are than the normal range.

Third: hemolytic anemia. Under normal conditions, the life span of red blood cells is 120 days. About 1% of the aged red blood cells are removed from the blood every day. At the same time, a corresponding number of new red blood cells are released from the bone marrow into the blood to maintain a constant number of red blood cells. When the life span of red blood cells shortens and the destruction increases, although the bone marrow hematopoiesis is enhanced at this time, it is not enough to compensate for the loss of red blood cells. The anemia produced in this way is called hemolytic anemia. The common types are: G-6-PD enzyme deficiency, immune hemolysis, hereditary spherocytosis.

matters needing attention

This phenomenon will have a certain impact on the baby's body, and the baby can not normally intake nutrients. On the one hand, the reason is that the baby may be anaemic, so we should give the baby more nutritious food such as jujube and lean meat. At the same time, we should let the baby have enough rest.
